Tim was also known as Mac, Flash, Timmie and Ahoy McCoy by his friends and family. In his early years, Tim was a member of the Boy Scouts where he became an Eagle Scout. Tim worked at Montgomery’s Dairy and Safeway while in school. He graduated from Springdale High School in 1971. He was then drafted into the Armed Forces where he served 4 years as a Navy Seabee and continued with 4 years in the Reserves until he was honorably discharged from both. Upon discharge, he was employed by Tyson Foods where he retired after 33 years. Tim’s favorite pastime was spending time at the deer cabin with the Allard Mountain Boys. He also enjoyed gardening, macramé and spending time with his family and friends.
